VICTORIA DAY RANT

May 20, 2001, 11:30pm

Hey, it is (was!) Victoria Day today.

When I lived in Ottawa, Victoria Day was a big day. Fireworks, family fun, and when I was older, a big ole' booze fest, one of two days where you could actually walk through downtown with a six pack drinking away.

In Vancouver, it ain't like that at all. Boring, actually. Or maybe it's me. Oh well.

This week is a big week for me on several fronts. We look to sign a new client, so that means salaries are covered for another 3 or 4 months. Salaries... sheesh. When I was running the whole shew at WebMotif and I signed a contract with a client, I was like "woo hoo! I just made $10 grand!". These days, everytime I sign a contract, my brain goes "woo hoo! we can pay salaries for x months!!". That's all I care about these days - meeting my payroll. In fact, some weeks, I actually take some of my own pay, and deposit it back into the company account just to cover our biweekly payperiod. I haven't had to do that for some time now, but it just shows you what expanding, incorporating, and gaining partners means for the world of business. I hope my staff knows how much this weighs on me. :-)
